Netflix Unveils ‘Offline Love,’ New Japanese Dating Series Set in France
Netflix is expanding its unscripted slate with 'Offline Love,' a Japanese dating series that challenges modern romance by removing digital devices.
The show marks the reality hosting debut of Japanese entertainment veteran Kyoko Koizumi alongside comedy duo Reiwa Roman, who provide studio commentary throughout the series. “I never really connected with romance reality shows, but this concept is fascinating: in a foreign country and without digital devices, participants rely on letters, promises, and coincidences to find love,” says Koizumi, who brings perspective from the pre-smartphone era. The streamer recently renewed Japanese same-sex dating reality series “The Boyfriend” for a second season, while Korea’s “Single’s Inferno” has claimed the sixth spot in Netflix’s Global Top 10 (Non-English) following its Jan. 14 premiere.
